CHAINTECH - Chaintech 7NJS Zenith nForce2 Motherboard @ Bjorn3D

Bjorn3D.com reviews the Chaintech 7NJS Zenith (nF2 SPP/MCP-T):

“This will be the second nForce2 motherboard review here at Bjorn3d, as the Leadtek WinFast K7NCR18D-Pro was the first. If you read the Leadtek review, you will notice that Chaintech has included a much more extensive package and more features on the 7NJS than you can find on the K7NCR18D-Pro. But there is one big feature missing on the Chaintech that most people notice right away — no SoundStorm! Yup, that’s right. I’ll get into that more later though. As most of you probably already know, nForce2 mobos are turning out to be great and solid performers and are arguably the best AMD Athlon XP solution on the market right now. So let’s dig in and see whether the Chaintech 7NJS delivers or disappoints……The 7NJS Zenith is a great board for many reasons — great features, lots of extras, solid and stable performance, lots of tweakable settings. Chaintech put together one of the best packages available overall in my opinion. It is an awesome board and package that should appeal to enthusiasts of all kinds – from tweakers and overclockers to feature fanatics. Although it is a bit pricey, it is a great board worthy of your consideration if you are in the market for a new motherboard.

Pros:
Stable and solid performance
Cool PCB and slot colors
Lots of BIOS tweaking options — good overclocking board
Onboard ethernet works great
Tons of features — SATA, RAID, Firewire, USB 2.0, CBox2, rounded cables…
Onboard sound is good

Cons:
Board layout may present issues with your setup
Lack of NVIDIA SoundStorm
Support options are limited in U.S

For its extensive feature set, abundance of extras, solid performance and overclockability, I am awarding the Chaintech 7NJS Zenith a score of 9.0 out of 10 and the Bjorn3d Seal of Approval.“
